It’s gone so quickly from ‘boat people’ to all immigrants. So quickly from ‘I don’t mind if they come here legally and pay taxes’ to ‘actually it’s anyone foreign’. We are living in the ‘first they came for’ poem. All to give the population a scapegoat so the super rich can hoard yet more wealth.

And you never should have done so.
Next steps that should already be underway:
- Equalise Capital Gains with Income Tax
- Replace Council Tax with a proper property-based system
- Tax net wealth over £10 million
It’s not radical. It’s overdue. Just get it done.

Why can’t Keir Starmer see the benefits that are obvious to almost everyone, even those the other side of the Atlantic 🤷♂️
I had a productive call with Ursula von der Leyen this morning. We’re ready to build on our free trade relationship, bolster economic security, and work side-by-side on shared defence and security challenges.
When Canada and the European Union build together, our futures are stronger.
